[The Flying Potato]

I want Madrid to win the CL semi, dont really care for the other 2

 

[Boss]

I support United, don't care less who wins, I just want some great football and Cristiano and Messi to put on a show for the billion plus watching public.

 

[Galactic]

All Real Madrid for me.

 

[Baby Faced Assassin]

I support United, don't care less who wins, I just want some great football and Cristiano and Messi to put on a show for the billion plus watching public.

Totally agreed there.

 

[TheHorse'sMouth]

Can't fecking wait for round one tonight..gonna feck revision and get some of the haribo starmix out

edit: Hope Barca thrash Madrid.

 

[ha_rooney]

I'm sure there's a stat that Ronnie's never scored against Barca & Messi's never scored against Jose? I'd be suprised if that's the case at the end of these 4 matches.

Barca to win Copa & League games, Madrid to win the semi.

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

Same as Boss apart from I want Madrid to win the CL semi, simply because I'd fancy our chances more against them than I would against Barca if we get through.

 

[Lynk]

Madrid to win all.

 

[GE]

What time is kick-off tonight?

 

[evra]

Barcelona, however I don't think it's going to be as resounding as last time.

 

[Name Changed]

I don't really care who wins in the league or cup. I'm really looking forward to the games though!

I think Real could do Barca in the CL though. It would be better for us if we faced Real if we got to the final.

 

[Tibs]

Barca tonight and wednesday - and then go through into the CL Final.

[wr8_utd]

sidlowe So, Pepe in a midfield three with Alonso and Khedira. Benzema, Di María and Ronaldo up front. No Ozil.

 

[wr8_utd]

Puyol is back! It's been a long time.

 

[Kelvin]

barca to win this and seal la liga....

 

[Boss]

Maybe that's why he played ozil for 90 on tues, he wasn't planning to start him today.

I think he wants to play a defensive counter attacking system.

 

[Kaos]

Plenty of injuries, handbags, sending offs and Ronaldo to score a belter.

 

[Rahul]

I love El Clasico.

Its like Spanish Soap Opera. Some crazy shit always happens.

 

[Arruda]

I prefer Barcelona to Madrid, that said while Mourinho's in charge I have a soft spot for them succeeding. I guess it balances itself I'll be rooting for the better team on the day.

 

[kouroux]

Madrid have to win at all costs.Even a draw would be a very bad result for them

 

[Red Pavan]

Capello the pundit

They let him have a sheet of paper, great entertainment

If we had a 7-a-side between the two benches, we know who would win.

 

[Makki]

Ray Hudson on my stream Get in.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Hope Barca School Real.

 

[McLovin]

Come on Barca!

 

[MrMarcello]

I didn't know ESPN Deportes was an optional purchase on DirectTV and not part of the normal sports package.

So I'm stuck listening to Ray Hudson and Phil Schoen.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Pepe in midfield as an anchor man?

Lassana and Gago injured?

 

[TheHorse'sMouth]

Madrid have to win at all costs.Even a draw would be a very bad result for them

Agree..mentally as much as anything, they need to somehow grind out a victory to really get the belief going for the next few fixtures in the Clasico. Suffer a defeat, an I could see the 'head drop' mindset getting the better of them in the upcoming fixtures.

 

[Arruda]

Pepe is not unknown to the midfield position, he played there in the National team already, under Queiroz. Not great to have so little ball skill on that spot though.

 

[Cina]

Whoof, completely forgot this was on.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Plastic flags ahoy.

 

[Baby Faced Assassin]

Hope Barca School Real.

I think they will. But it will take a lot more time to break them this time.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Xavi misplaced pass.

 

[Galactic]

These matches will show us how to play them, if we get to the final. More importantly, how to play against Barca

 

[Justin]

Gameplan is clear on both sides, hit anything that moves.

 

[MrMarcello]

Barca gonna win this easily me thinks.

2-0

Pulling for the merc twats of Real though.

 

[ha_rooney]

Has Villa permanently been shifted to a wide position, seems Messi is given the central role more often recently.

 

[Sir Matt]

Marcelo with the takedown on the linesman!
